The soldiers of the Northern Army put away their knives and guns and lifted the assassin up, already breathing heavily.
Lin Hai came over to take a look, and found the remaining pill in the assassin's hand, "Take poison?"
The assassin's eyes were blurred, and he looked at Lin Hai with a triumphant smile. Lin Hai grabbed his collar and yelled loudly: "You are not allowed to die until you see the emperor!"
Wow! The assassin spat out another mouthful of hot blood, sprayed it on the white snow, his head went limp, and he died.
"Oh shit!"
Lin Hai picked up the 榾柮, and hit the assassin hard on the head. Such a beast is not as good as a pig or a dog. His head must be smashed to pieces, so that he will be reborn in the next life without shame!
"Lin Hai, stop!"
Lin Hai looked back and saw that Yan Li was already standing in the courtyard, his face pale and haggard. He looked at the man on the ground who was beyond recognition, with his brain cracked.
"Is he the assassin who assassinated Queen Chu?"
Lin Hai replied: "According to his own confession, he is indeed the assassin who assassinated Queen Chu."
Yan Li doesn't care whether the assassin is dead or alive, he is most concerned about his son now: "Where is my emperor? Where is Jimin? Where is he? Where did the assassin hide him?"
Lin Hai was silent.
Yan Li asked again: "General Lin, did the assassin tell me where my emperor's son is?"
Lin Hai still didn't respond to Yan Li, perhaps it was because silence speaks louder than words.
Yan Li noticed a sergeant standing by the well, holding something in both hands, which was wet and still dripping water.
"what is that?"
Lin Hai wept bitterly, and fell to his knees on the ground: "Return to the emperor, then... that is the prince Jimin!"
a bolt from the blue!
Yan Li's brain buzzed, his eyes turned black, and he fell down again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The soldiers who rushed up supported Yan Li.
Lin Hai: "Help the Emperor and Master Chu to the Supreme Hospital!" Then, Lin Hai ordered the other soldiers, "Keep the dead assassin and the weapons he used, and don't lose them!"
…
The news that Chu Fei'er was assassinated and carried away the emperor had already spread to Fengming Palace, Rong Chang'an was more worried about the safety of the prince than Chu Fei'er and Yan Li.
"How could such a thing happen? It must have been done by that bitch Ziyan again. It must be her!"
Rong Changan felt that the air in the room was too stuffy, so he paced back and forth in the courtyard. The hem of her scarlet cloak was soaked with snow water, but she didn't notice it.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!" Rong Changan hurried to the Buddhist hall, burned incense and kowtowed to the Bodhisattva, "All the faults are on Chang'an, and it's all my fault for striving to be strong. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have released the purple smoke, and I wouldn't have released the purple smoke." , then there will be no matter about Zixuan and Chu Feier. If it can be exchanged for the return of Feier’s prince, Chang’an is willing to enter Taoism and practice, and live the life of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha from now on, and never return to Fengming Palace!"
The sound of hurried footsteps agitated Rong Changan's eardrums.
"Queen, queen!"
It was Chuntao's voice, she must have good news!
Rong Changan literally jumped up and flew out of the Buddhist hall. She grabbed Chuntao's hand and held it so tightly that it hurt Chuntao.
"Chuntao, what's the matter, has the child been found?"
Chuntao shook her head: "The child has been found..." The voice was very soft, so soft that Changan could not hear clearly.
"What did you say, say it again!"
"The child is found!"
Rong Changan finally untied his frown, put his hands together, and bowed to the Buddhist hall again: "Thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva for appearing, Chang'an will definitely fulfill his promise and enter Taoism to practice."
But Chuntao's other words made her emotions fall to the bottom: "The queen doesn't need to practice Taoism..."
Rong Changan heard that there was something in Chuntao's words, and quickly turned his head to look at her sharply: "What do you mean?"
Chuntao was already in tears: "The child is... gone!"
"Gone?" Rong Changan seemed to still not understand what it meant, "What does it mean?"
Chuntao sobbed: "That bastard assassin threw the prince into the well and drowned the prince!"
Rong Changan's eyes were blank, not only her expression froze, but also her body.
"How could this be?" Rong Changan couldn't bear it anymore, sitting in the snow, she couldn't feel how cold the snow was at all. "You saw the child die with your own eyes?"
Chun Tao: "Everyone in the palace said so. The empress and the emperor cried together in Fengfei Palace. Chu Lin fell ill and went back to recuperate. The whole palace was in a sad atmosphere. Tears of mourning hang on their faces."
"It's my fault, it's my fault!" Rong Changan muttered to himself, "I was confused for a while, and it's all my fault! If it wasn't for being competitive..."
Chuntao relented and said: "How can you blame the queen, the assassin is too inhuman!"
If she hadn't competed with Ziyan who would win and who would lose, she would have killed Ziyan long ago! Once the root of the disaster is removed, the next thing will not happen.
Rong Changan stood up suddenly, his eyes were full of anger: "I can't let her mess up the palace anymore, if this continues, the emperor will break the imperial line!"
After saying that, Rong Changan stood up and went to the palace gate.
"Queen, what are you doing?" Chuntao followed behind.
Rong Changan had a murderous look on his face: "I'm going to avenge Zixuan, Fei'er, and the dead prince!"
Chuntao thought to herself: You don't know who instigated the assassin, and who to seek revenge from? Could it be that when she heard the news of the prince's death, she couldn't bear the shock and lost her mind
Chuntao followed behind, and as soon as she left the palace gate, she saw a large number of golden armored warriors coming aggressively from both sides of the gate. Chuntao thought they were here to protect Rong Changan or were passing by, but they formed a circle and trapped Rong Changan in the middle.
Rong Changan frowned and lowered his bright eyes.
She had a premonition that something bad had happened, otherwise, how dare these palace guards point at her with guns, knives, bows and arrows, the Queen of the Great Thorn Kingdom, the Protector General of the Great Thorn Kingdom!
Chuntao was terrified by the situation in front of her, and shrank behind Rong Changan: "You... what do you want?"
Rong Changan thinks that the most likely thing is that someone launched another rebellion.
The leading general stood in front of Rong Changan, took out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, and opened it respectfully.
Chuntao faltered: "Holy... imperial decree?"
Rong Changan looked at them suspiciously: "Are you sent by the emperor?"
The leader didn't speak, shook the imperial decree in his hand, and read it word by word: "By heaven, the emperor ordered it. Because of Fengming Palace, Chang'an doesn't obey women's morals, and has a heart like a snake and a scorpion, so he sent assassins to murder Chu. Empress, not only that, she also drowned the prince Jimin in the well water. Since ancient times, such a vicious woman can only be tolerated by Chang'an! Even if I have a kindness with her, it is difficult for the country to tolerate it. I am thinking hard , decided to throw Rong Changan into limbo and wait to be dealt with!"
The powerful words, every word is pierced in the heart. "Heart like a snake and scorpion", "So vicious", how long ago was Rong Chang'an already such a person in Yan Li's mind
Resentment, grievance, and anger were mixed in Rong Changan's eyes. The tears wanted to burst out several times, but Rong Changan finally restrained the tears with his own will.
Chuntao shook her head: "Are you sent by the emperor? I don't believe it! How could the emperor issue such an imperial edict? You must be rebels plotting rebellion!"
Rong Changan's reputation in the army was very high, she was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor, and the guards of the palace were not happy. Moreover, they didn't quite believe that Rong Changan was the mastermind behind the drowned prince.
